Treatment for a UTI should be designed for each patient individually and is usually based on the patient's underlying medical conditions, what pathogen(s) are causing the infection and the susceptibility of the pathogen(s) to treatments.

I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with a UTI about two weeks ago. This morning, I had a follow-up urine routine test to see if it's cleared up, but I'm not sure how to interpret the results. In one report, the latest is highlighted in yellow, and the other is from 14 days ago. Could you help me figure out if I'm still dealing with this infection or if it's finally gone?

I keep getting small cuts on my foreskin during sex and sometimes it hurts a lot. It feels like phimosis but I really don't want to get circumcision or surgery. Are there any other treatments that could help with this?

Foreskin cuts and pain during intercourse may indicate phimosis; steroid creams and stretching exercises can help, but persistent symptoms may eventually need minor surgery.
